after i used the AV1 plugs in the back of the unit and plugged in the 3 rca male ends from the N64 i got a blank screen and static from the speakers. I tried every setting and they were all that way, though some where a little quiter than the others. So what am i doing wrong? I was going to put my ps3 in here, but i figured there would be too much power drain on my battery. So what am i doing wrong? thanks

If you feel the PS3 would drain your battery too much, then turn your car on. That way it's using the alternator to help the situation.

Sounds like you broke your N64... mine still works just fine and has never looked like that. Did you try to hack it or something?

 

Heck, even my Sega Genesis works great still. Never heard of any issues like what you're describing.

well i just plugged in the ps2 and used a drop cord from my house to simulate "perfect" conditions and it still was like that. MY n64 works great in the house and so does the ps2 and ps3
